    How many times are you going to say this?

    Oh, and we'd call it a solid defender off the bench to give KL some rest for a few minutes.

    Nothing can be said that hasn't already been said. I don't want Granger to be our starter under any cir stances. If we play small ball, I'd prefer it'd be Ginobili starting.

    But this talk for "minutes", I really have no idea why Granger believes he will get significantly more minutes in LA. Crawford, Re are going to come back soon and take the bulk of 2/3 minutes. Then Matt Barnes is going to be the second 3 off the bench. I could see Granger beating out Dudley.. but Dudley is shooting better this year than Granger. Maybe as a back-up 4? But they just signed Davis.

    At least for the Spurs he knows what he's getting. He should be fairly confident he could beat out Ayres and Bonner. I think you add that, plus taking a couple minutes away from Green or someone of the sort, he's looking at 15-20 minutes a game.. and that isn't putting into account the games where we will rest players. Plus, lots of team play small in the playoffs. Idk, it's just a no brainer to me... I guess that's why I'm a Spurs fan, though.
    Yes. I think he will be a better fit in he Spurs uniform than the clippers. If he does go to the clippers, it's where this gets kind of personal. Spurs are in dire need of a lengthy small forward and he will fill the role very nicely. Anyone who says granger is done are absolutely absurd. Granger just needs time to heal and be productive at this point in his career.

    Granger is good enough to take ginoboli and greens position. He is still good given his poor play in Indiana.

    Granger isn't done, he just isn't all star caliber anymore. He's more than capable of performing in a reduced role. Look at his highlights for the year. . .he's still moving well and has a sweet jumpshot with the quick release still.

    What makes you think Granger is better than Manu?

    Plenty of players better than Manu and Green. Danny Granger isn't one of them.

    Maybe Green, but Green is a SG and he has the ability to guard PGs (Don't forget how well he defended Curry, Paul in the playoffs).

    I would take Manu over Granger any day of the week at this moment in time. Granger play this year has been dismal compare to his prime self. Players who develop chronic injuries to the knees rarely make it back to be a dominating player. TMAC, Amare, Hill, Penny, Roy, etc etc.

    I still believe he would be a solid backup for us. If he does choose the Clippers it wouldn't be the first time SA has been snubbed so it won't bother me much.

    Perhaps if Granger likes to go have meetings at a wine bar because that's pretty much all what Pop and RC do.

    On a more serious note, I think he would fit very well here and fill a huge role the spurs are lacking right now.

    Hope he is watching First Take. They made some good points on why Granger should join the Spurs. Unless Pop and RC pulls something out of there ass, which I think they can. Granger is LA bound.

    Yeah. I wonder when they are going to pitch the "horry role" to him.

    Why is it that Granger wants to join a team where he'll take even less minutes...I don't understand athletes. The depleted Spurs have beaten the Clippers this season. Well w/e. Take your smug at ude because you're not producing and were an expiring contract to Los Angeles with the wantabe Chris Paul. You'll be out in the 1st round regardless. That's all.

    I'm definitely hoping Danny Granger makes SA his (most likely) temporary home for another deep playoff run. That said, I can't make any judgment on how well he would do with us because I haven't been following the rest of the League this year like I have for a relatively long time. I'm getting back into the groove of things still but I still remember Danny granger torching the league about 3-4 years back and it would surprise me if he truly dropped off the edge of the world in the meantime, injury notwithstanding.

    I'm a big Granger fan, and I'd love to see him in San Antonio. My belief is that he'll need minutes to be effective, tho, and I'm not sure he'll get that on the Spurs. The advantage to a spot here is that he could work out of the reserve role and not have to prove himself on a team that expects to turn him into a starter. He would fit well into the Spurs' offensive schemes, probably getting a lot of good looks from three. My big problem is that I just didn't see a guy who was able to move too well on the defensive end from the 6 or so games I've seen him play since his comeback.

    That being said, he might be fooling himself if he thinks Doc Rivers is going to give him 30+ minutes of burn a night to play himself into game shape while the Clippers are trying to secure an upper seed in the West. I think there would be less pressure on him in San Antonio.

    The payoff on Granger isn't this season, it's next. If he can get back in shape I think he's still a guy that can contribute 15 points a night on a playoff caliber team. Moving him to a small 4 might extend his career, and I think he has the length to do that. I'm not sure he'll get the burn at this point in the season to be much of a difference maker, but we'll see. Perhaps the Spurs can get him on the cheap this off season.

    Guy doesn't need to be playing big minutes coming off his injury anyway. I'm sure Pop and RC will make sure he knows that his health is their number one priority. Granger should know that Spurs org. is one of the best at maintaining their players. He should definitely take that into consideration.
